The Penobscot Narrows Observatory Opens Tomorrow

According to a post on the attraction's Facebook page, the Penobscot Narrows Bridge Observatory opens for the season tomorrow (July 3rd).

The observatory will be open from 9 AM to 6 PM through August 31st.  It will be open from 9 AM to 5 PM from September 1st through October 31st.  Tickets for both Fort Knox and the observatory are $5 for kids, $7 for adults (12+), and $2.50 for seniors.  Prices are slightly higher for non-Maine residents.

Of course, there will be some COVID-19 related restrictions.  These including the requirement to wear masks and a limit on the number of people who can be on the viewing deck at any given time.

According to Wikipedia, the observatory first opened to the public on May 18th, 2007.  The observatory tower rises over 400 feet in the air and allows for an amazing view of nearby Fort Knox and the Penobscot River below.

Nearby Fort Knox (no, not the one with the gold) opened for the season back in May.
